If the Stair Kit comes with a crush block, it should be
trimmed at this time. The height of the crush block will need to be
determined by the installer. Note: Spindle lengths are sized for a traditional 2"
clearance from bottom rail to mounting surface. Once the block is trimmed, insert it into
the pre-cut hole on the underside of the bottom rail.
Slide the bottom rail upper & lower bracket covers onto the respective ends of the
bottom rail. Position the rail so it can be attached to the mounting brackets, making sure
the rail sits on the resting flanges. Install two of the supplied 1" long screws into each
mounting bracket (1 on each side) in the middle slot of the brackets. The screws should
be located as close to the radius end of the slot as possible, which is approximately
1/2 " from the end of the rail ( Figure 6). Note: If using a cordless drill, be careful not to
strip the screws. Slide the covers toward the post until they snap on to the mounting
brackets. An audible “click” should be heard, signifying that the covers are now secure.
To determine the location of the top rail mounting brackets, insert two spindles in the
bottom rail, one in each of the pre-cut holes that are closest to each end of the rail. Slide a
top rail mounting bracket on each end of the top rail. The lower bracket should be pushed
up as far as possible on the rail end (bottom of rail should NOT be resting on the resting
flange) and the upper bracket should be positioned so that the bottom of the rail is sitting
on the resting flange. Place the rail on the spindles, inserting the two spindles into the
respective pre-cut holes in the top rail. Push down on the top rail to make sure it is resting
securely on top of the spindles. Before marking the locations of the mounting brackets,
make sure the spindles are plumb. Using a pencil, mark the location of the mounting
brackets so they can be attached to the mounting surface (
Figure 7). Remove the top
rail and top rail mounting brackets and secure the brackets to the mounting surface using
eight of the 1
1/2 " screws supplied and the marks made previously.
Insert all of the spindles into the pre-cut holes in the bottom rail. Note: Square spindles
come sized for a 36" or a 42" rail height based on the traditional 2" clearance from
the bottom rail to the mounting surface. Colonial spindles only come sized for 36" rail
height. If your application is different, you have the option of trimming the spindles
to your desired height. Be sure to check with your local code officials for height
requirements.
Slide the top rail upper & lower bracket covers onto their respective ends of the top rail.
Place the top rail on the spindles, inserting the spindles one at a time while holding the
top rail at an upward angle (
Figure 8). Once all of the spindles are inserted into the top
rail, it should be positioned so that it can be attached to the top rail mounting brackets.
Note: The upper end of the rail should be sitting on the resting flange, but the lower
end of the top rail should not.
Install four of the supplied 1" long screws into each mounting bracket (2 on each side)
in the top and bottom slots of the brackets. The screws should be located as close to
the radius end of the slot as possible, which is approximately
1/2 " from the end of the
rail ( Figure 9). Slide the covers towards the mounting plates until they snap onto the
mounting plates. An audible “click” should be heard, signifying that the covers are now
secure.
